OUR Toys For Tots Haul

jlzinck · 10-29-2022, 07:49 PM

So I have started buying some stuff towards the Toys for Tots money I have raised from the Secret Santa and the Immaculate Break.

Here is a closeup of the shark toy/case my daughter found while we were out today. She is a shark FREAK. And because she is her mother's daughter it was on clearance!!!

The plastic Walmart bag contains 20 boxes of Crayola Crayons that were originally selling for $3.74 cents and were again on clearance for 50 cents a box

Just make sure to put them back in the packages after playing with them.

You’re a good man and appreciated by all including Glen

Man when we played lawn darts as a kid you lost a point if you moved as the dart was being thrown towards your end

Nice job Jon

So I had to go to a local discount store today to buy some shelving, hey had Huff scooters for $19.99 so I grabbed one. I had to look at the receipt later on and see that the barcode for the scooter rang it up as a travel mug for $2.99. More for the kids!!!

That's great! Clearance is the best! Not sure if you do target circle or not but there is a coupon on there for 25% off a book or a toy until November 12. You can use it online but you have to order via the app. You can also use it in the store. Now you can't use it on like video games or like Lego or Nerf but still a great deal.

Very nice! I tend to load up every year on Walmart clearance aisle stuff for B-day parties, Christmas gifts for nieces/nephews, etc. Whatever doesn't find an assigned home by November usually makes its way there.

The local wrapping and distribution center has been our church's gym in recent years. Per my friends who've worked out front on the days they distribute the gifts, it's amazing how excited and appreciative most of the kids are when receiving.

I played Santa and a work event about 20is years ago.
They look of awe (and sometimes fear) in the kids eyes was incredible.

Bowman1951 · 11-01-2022, 09:36 AM

So cool! This must be a ton of fun to go out and purchase.

It really is, especially if there is a kid with a parent shopping as well. I tell the parent what I am doing and ask if I can ask their child what they like or what thy think someone else would like.

Also bought another scooter so we got 2 for the price of 1.1

jlzinck · 11-16-2022, 09:05 AM

Everything on the bed and on the floor at the bottom of the picture is the haul so far.

I am still going to get 4 $25 Giftcards for older kids.

A local discount store has a program where you buy a winter coat for a veteran for $40 and they give you a $40 gift card for the store. I will use the GC for more toys.

I am hoping to get a bike on Black Friday.

I cannot express how grateful I am for all of you that have helped this year.

Your work here will never be forgotten.

Toys for Tots is one of my favorite charities to donate to. Today Big Lots is having a special on 50% off all toys. Also had a coupon for $10 off a purchase so went there and loaded up on toys to donate.
